THE @ L STEED.
Adventures of a Stolen HOrse-Mr
Pence Receivers His Horse After
Several Months.

"Wllere did yeu find that horse?" in
quired Mr.. Pence yesterday, of a young
man who had dismounted and was leading
the animal into his stable.
81 bought him ut Sur River" replied
the stranger.
.'That horse, saddle and bride belong to
me-" replied Mr.. Pence.
The stranger went away, leaving the
horse and returned in about an hour.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Pence had procured u
replevin, and had called in Sol Yates to
enforce it. When the young man saw the
deputy sheriff, he quietly withdrew and
has not been seen since. Mr.. Fences story
is as follows:
"On August 18th, Kasson hired the horse
of me for two days. Some days passed
but Kasson did not return. | found on
inquiry that he had sold the horse and
saddle at Sun River for $40. sent the
money there to redeem the horse, but
WAS informed that the horse had been re-
sold. Meanwhile, kassDn had gone to
Helena, where aftera few days stay he
was arrested for fraud and sent toiail for
a month. Before his time was up, I had
secured a warrant for his arrest. He was
brought back here, waived examination
and is now in the Benton jail, awaiting
the action Of the grand jury. The horse
is roar color and about six and one-half
years old"
Mr.. Pence has the horse and of course
will retain him. 1t is said Kasson will
gain nothing by its return.

Washington special: All the Nebraska
delegation, with the exception of Con
gresham Laird, are now in Washington.
Senator Henderson arrived last night
from Philadelphia, where he had been
in attendance at the funeral of his father
Senator Paddock has been in the city
since Sunday busily engaged in work
looking to the selection of Omaha by
the national committee as the place Of
holding the next convention. Congress
man McShane and Congressman Dorsey
arrived yesterday and have joined hands
in working for the same object. On one
point at least the delegation is united
before the opening of congress. Con-
gresham Sapp and Judge Lyman OF
Council Bluffs are also on the ground
lending helping hand Senators Man
derson and Paddock occupy suits Of
seven rooms at the Portland, which
directly adjoin each other. Each
will be accompanied by their families
during the session, although Mrs. Man

the holidays Mr.. Dorsey and wife are
quartered ON Fourteenth and X streets
who is accompanied by his private
secretary, Staples, occupies suite at
the Willard, where he held quite re-
ception last evening Of Nebraskans. He
will shortly remove to quieter and more
commodious quarters. Congressman
Laird will remain, as heretofore, at the
Riggs. 1t will be probably several days
after the opening Of the session before
the assignment of senator's to the sew
eral committees will be announced.
Senator Henderson, at present, holds
the craftsmanship of the committee On
printing, which ranks well in the list
He is certain to be retained unless he
should prefer some other embarrassing,
which is unlikely. Senator Paddock,
on account of his previous service in the
senate. is assured of good assignments,
while it is improbable that he will re.
ceive a embarrassing, owing to the rule
which places him among the new sena.
tors, his extensive acquaintance and
six years experience will undoubtedly
secure him places on several important
committees.

4 Content From indiana.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Ingalla.
president pro tenn Of the senate, has tele'
graphed all the republican members OF the
senate to be present at the opening of con-
gress. Dhe object of this summons is to
refer to the committee on elections the
credentials of David Turpie, senator from
Indiana, before that gentleman is allowed
to take the oath of Office and his seat. Tur-
pies credentials are irregular in form.
They lack the signatures of the speaker
of the house of representatives of Indiana,
the clerk of the house, and of the secretary
of state. Green Smith, who signed the Gre
dentials as presiding officer of the joint
convention which declared Turpie elected,
subsequently had to make way for Lieuten-
ant Governor Robinson, who was forciDly
elected from the state senate, when he
undertook to assume the duties of the office
to which he was elected. The democrats
claim that Senator Riddleberger, of Vir-
ginia, elected as republican, will vote
with them to seat Turpie, before his case is
reported to the committee on election, re-
publicans deny, and claim that Riddleber-
ger is non-co mmittal. 1t looks as though
there might be an exciting contest over the
organization of the senate.

A Blow nt the AMI

Sioux CITY, Iowa, Dec. 2--To-day has
been one of the most important days in the
trial OF John Arensdorf for the murder of
the Rev. George c. Haddock. A large
number of witnesses were examined, con.
tradicting aud mpeaching the main wit
nesses for defense. The climax was reached
when the Hon. Byron Webster, of Dubuque.
United States revenue collector, took the
stand and testified that from about 10
o'clock until the fatal shot WIS fred on the
night Of the murder he was in Sheperd's
saloon and restaurant; that he got bis
mpper there, and that Arensd0rf was not
there. The evidence was positive. The
importance Of this evidence consists of tho
fact that Shepherd's saloon is the place
where Arendotf locates himself at the
moment Of the murder aud for some time
before, and is the fatal point Of the alibi.
